ConocoPhillips 5K run slated Saturday

Thursday

Saturday morning will be the time for speed and sore feet — but a good time, nonetheless — at the "On Your Mark" for the 2013 ConocoPhillips United Way 5K and Fun Run, in Bartlesville.

A fundraising activity for ConocoPhillips’ annual campaign to benefit the Bartlesville Regional United Way, the first-year event promises plenty of fun and prizes for everyone — participants and spectators alike.

Top prize giveaways will include two pairs of airline tickets to anywhere within the continental United States as well as printers and gift certificates. All of those who register for the 5K and/or Fun Run will be automatically entered into the prize drawing. In addition, those who are on hand during the day of the event — participants as well as spectators — can purchase tickets for entry into the prize drawing for $5 apiece. All of those interested can purchase as many tickets as they would like. You must be present to win.

Throughout the event, the area just south of Bartlesville High School’s Custer Stadium will feature music, food, refreshments and children’s activities for all of those who are interested.

Both the 5K and the one-mile Fun Run will begin on the BHS campus, at the intersection of 18th Street and Shawnee Ave. The 5K will incorporate some of the scenic Pathfinder trail and will conclude on the track within BHS’s Custer Stadium.

The Fun Run is due to begin at 8:30 a.m. and the 5K will follow at 9 a.m. Awards and prizes will be presented at the awards ceremony, which will be held on site beginning at 10 a.m. Late registration for the event begins at 7:30 a.m. with packet pick-ups starting at 8 a.m.

The early registration fee for the 5K is $25 per person and $30 for late registration on the day of the event. The registration fee for the Fun Run is $15. Registration can be done online at www.earlysignup.com/unitedway. All of those who register in advance to participate in the 5K and/or Fun Run will receive a commemorative T-shirt.
